Use the pipeline tasks in Azure DevOps

You execute the FACT Integration extension tasks through an Azure DevOps Agent that is configured to run in a Windows environment. It can run from Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 (or higher). 

 Note

To run the extension tasks, the FACT Tools must be installed on the DevOps Agent machine and the DevOps Agent must be added to your Azure DevOps project. 

This article does not document the Azure DevOps Agent or the procedure to create a pipeline. Refer to the Microsoft documentation for support with those tasks.
